Today I have an array direction[64][64] that gives me different numbers for different directions(possible directions are queen direction that get 0-7 knight directions that get -2,identical squares that get -9 or no direction that gets -1 ). I thought about the idea to change it to the following definition: #define direction((i)(j)) directionnumber[translate[i]-translate[j]+128] The result is that I can get instead of one array of 4096 entries 2 arrays when translate is an array of 64 entries and directionnumber is an array of 256 entries. My question is if it is a good idea from speed point of view. It will probably be a simple change when I only need to construct the 2 arrays and the main problem is to construct the translate array. It is probably only few hours of work but I do not like to spend time on constructing these arrays only to discover later that it is not productive so I ask for your opinion about it. Uri
